Am I really in Duluth?

Finally. Some much needed lake enhanced snow is in store for the week and it's the snow I like best: cold, deep, fluffy lake effect. Winter is back for the time being!

I hope you're right. Earlier in the season there was a forecast for a few days out that was 9 inches, and kept getting lowered the closer it got. Think we ended up with 2 inches total.

[mca80]

How did y'all make out? Looks like about 8 inches here. Super dry, light, fluffy. Just finished snowblowing driveway and some paths between buildings and for the dog, heading out after something to eat.

It's never enough, , but we've got a whiteout on our hands here ladies and gentlemen! Oh and I've got 5 days off, just have to get off this couch....
We will see but I'm thinking at least a foot since the horrible rain event.

We got a solid 10-14" of some of the lightest, silkiest snow I've seen in a while. T78s sank to the base and snow was up to the knees but boy was turning easy.

Well this entirely sucks for late February 350km north of the arctic circle and indeed for the entire planet.



6°C is 43°F by the way.

It's been like this all winter. Absolutely miserable.

That far north? That is disturbing. I feel for ya bro. We're supposed to get more of the WHITE GOLD Monday but then 38 (3.3c) Tuesday. Just gimme a good March man!

Look at this. The red arrow points at Duluth. We would at least be magenta if it wasn't for that unprecedented 24 hour rain event in February. What really strikes me is how little coverage there is north of me and into Manitoba. Meanwhile @Tom M and @Stephen are laughing all the way to the bank

OK we're supposedly finally on for next week. Thanks for your commiserations @wabene BUT! on Saturday it supposedly dips below freezing and stays there and a few precious centimetres of snow. Please God let it be so, and just let it stay below freezing for a few days.

We're getting pasted here in Utah - after a few drier years. Been like this since October. But it's always like this here. Even the week of rain in January. We're getting so much snow even the diehard skiers are starting to grumble a bit. We're just tired of shoveling it, and 6:30 this morning I was grumbling, too. But it isn't so much the shoveling as the finding a place to put it! It's turning into a problem. That and the two-foot ice-wall the snowplow leaves in front of my driveway every time it snow!

Oh my, where is that? Well north Canada somewhere?
That seems to be a pattern, remarkably cold air masses going south, leaving the arctic somehow warmer.

Past 69°north, northern Norway. We have a maritime/ gulf stream climate so it's comparatively mild compared to a a few tens of miles inland, but this is really depressing.

The stable polar vortexes have weakened. North America and parts of Russia get blasted with cold while we're here going "Where's the snow?"
